The de Kock inmate DHABYAAN has been a revelation since the gelding and he eventually pegged back the game NORLAND (1.5kgs better off) over this c & d at a slightly lesser level two weeks ago. The four year old was upped seven pounds for his exertions but he has clearly got his career back on track and should continue to progress. The latter may find it tough to repeat that performance from his awkward draw despite the weight reversal. The consistent D' ARRIVEE has struck up a good partnership with this top visiting jockey and the Kahal gelding prefers this slight drop in distance. The veteran entire' KINGS ARCHER also enjoys this trip and he dips in class and in the ratings. The seven-year old is well drawn and represents an in-form yard.
